Can't find your RRBBO-build thread...

so..... when it says "no geometry changes" does that include spreading the rear stays for wider tires? :roll:

Well no, It doesn't mean you cant do that...If so I'm in trouble because Ive already done that to fit my 24x3 in the back :wink:

My interpretation is this is all about lengthening, raking, stretching, lowering. You can widen stays, remove brackets, or add bars. I liked the way someone else put it, trace your frame on paper, after you mods the frame should still match the stock tracing, but add ons are ok.

Exactly!

I was sorried about the rules until I looked at past years entries.

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Ok. So i'm totally at loss of ideas here.
Well...I've got them, but dont know what one to enter(and probably not finish)

Delorean 2.0-Gotta re-attempt this. Didnt like my first try.

BMX Worksman-Worksman frame, BMX Style. (freewheel and whatnot)

SCHWINN BMX/MTB-Chrome frame, mix of MTB/BMX

Purple Worksman-Purple/orange/Pink Worksman (80s Hot rod style)

2 Muscle bikes...Choice of 20/24

And theres more...but of course I dont know what to do.

 

[MarksA-C]

Well, I guess its time to get out to the garage, dig up a Big ol' pile of parts, and have at it!

 

[deorman]

Sorry man....I don't host photos on this forum for people...the storage space would kill me.

You need to open a free Photobucket account and use that instead.

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=172

and/or your server may provide a limited amount of webspace that you can load with pics.

i think i know this answer, im pretty positive actually. but i have to ask, is completely getting rid of the seat tube to much of a mod? im not streching it, just want to try something new.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I haven't read all the discussion comments yet (too lazy to read 6 pages I guess). But I see some emerging themes this year, non-typical frames (2 Elgin 5-bars a few diamond frames). Monark forks and big/little tire combos and more road and BMX parts.

Overall, the enthusiasm and build ideas are awesome, we've got folks (Cameron) in final paint color already! After only 3 days! GEEZE!

I know it's early, but this thing is WIDE open!

I love it!


Cheers,
Dr. T

hahaa, cheers! I'm still spending too much time sitting in the boneyard pondering what to use... I'll start a thread soon

 

[Green Dragon]

Whoa, this is almost too cool to be true. As a new guy, I have nothing now to get started with, but it looks like I have a year to find something for next time.

You have three months to build something - so forget about the year, start hunting now

SWEET! now how about some junk hanging off the rear dropouts to do a "bolt on stretch" ?? :?

It was legal last year... and I've considered it for my build, since I have vertical dropouts and a coaster-brake.

Is it ok if we have some parts powdercoated? I know we need to paint ourself, but what about powdercoating?
